Agonopterix kayseriensis, a new species of the Agonopterix alpigena group (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae) from Turkey and Romania. Misc. Pap. 2013: 1-18.
Agonopterix kayseriensis, a new species of the Agonopterix alpigena group (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae) from Turkey and Romania is described. The new species belongs to the A. alpigena-group. Externally it is inseparable from A. socerbi (Sumpich, 2013), a species known only from Italy and Slovenia so far, male genitalia are distinctly different. A. coenosella (Zerny, 1940) can be found at the same places and can be very similar externally, determination is possible by male genitalia. A. babaella Amsel, 1972 is most similar in male genitalia, but with clearly different external appearance. These three compared species are also safely discernable by DNA-barcode, but not by female genitalia. The moth and the genitalia of the new species and some of its related species are illustrated.
